Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

1 small onion, sliced

1 cup pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: sour cream or guacamole, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.

      Add the vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell pepper and onion, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.

        Prepare the pizza dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Using a cookie cutter or a large glass, cut out circles (about 3 inches in diameter) and re-roll any leftover dough.

          Assemble the bites: Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of pizza sauce onto each circle. Add a tablespoon of the chicken and veggie mixture on top, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

            Bake the pizza bites: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and serve: Remove the pizza bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. These bites are delicious served warm with sour cream or guacamole on the side.
